Everest Ice and Water Systems has introduced two new ice and water vending machines, the Avalanche and the Ascent.

The Avalanche features an automatic bagging system that dispenses 10-pound bags of ice, improving hygiene by reducing direct contact. Its Clean Vault Technology employs UV light disinfection within the dispensing area, ensuring that each bag is sanitized. This user-friendly design aims to streamline maintenance and minimize mechanical complexity for operators.

The Ascent is designed for through-wall integration, making it suitable for new constructions and remodels alike. By housing all components indoors, it offers protection from environmental factors and facilitates easier maintenance. The machine provides both ice and water vending and is equipped with a five-stage filtration system to ensure high quality. Its space-efficient design is ideal for high-traffic locations, offering a dual revenue stream for businesses.

Both machines incorporate Everest’s Cold Fusion technology, which recycles excess cold water, enhancing energy efficiency. Additionally, the patented VersaVend system prevents jams, simplifying maintenance and improving reliability.

These additions to Everest’s product line aim to set new standards in the ice vending industry, providing both customers and operators with superior experiences. For more information, visit Everest Ice and Water Systems.

Celebrating over 75 years of innovation, Johnson Level & Tool has established itself as a cornerstone in the world of precision tools, with a long-standing commitment to quality and reliability. Since its founding in 1947, Johnson has evolved from a small wood-level manufacturer into a global leader in advanced levels, lasers, and layout tools. Known for its dedication to helping professionals achieve accuracy, speed, and safety, Johnson remains at the forefront of technology in its field. The GreenBrite^® 3×360° Plane Laser exemplifies Johnson’s heritage, combining high-performance features with a durable design that meets the demands of modern job sites.

The laser uses GreenBrite^® technology, making it highly visible even in bright settings. Its green beams are up to four times more visible than standard red beams, providing a significant advantage for outdoor projects and brightly lit interiors. Equipped with three 360° laser planes, this tool offers exceptional versatility, allowing users to cover an entire room with horizontal, vertical, and cross-line applications. This makes it ideal for a wide range of layout tasks, including installing drop ceilings, framing, and aligning cabinetry.

Constructed with an IP64-rated dust and water-resistant design, this laser level is engineered to withstand harsh job site conditions. It’s powered by long-lasting lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, providing over 25 hours of continuous runtime.

We provided samples of the GreenBrite^® 3×360° to two professional crews—one remodeling a large kitchen and another installing a drop ceiling in an office building. Both teams quickly noted their preference for the green beam over the red, appreciating the enhanced visibility under varying lighting conditions. The laser’s robust construction was also widely praised, with one tester commenting, “job sites and crews are rough on tools, and only those that stand up to daily demands are worth the investment.”

With its rugged design, precision accuracy, and superior beam visibility, the Johnson GreenBrite^® 3×360° Plane Laser is an excellent choice for hardware retailers serving the trades.
